3D Limit Analysis of the Transient Stability of Slope during Pile Driving in Nonhomogeneous and Anisotropic Soil

To evaluate the stability of a slope subjected to pile driving in nonhomogeneous and anisotropic soils, an upper-bound limit analysis method is employed in this paper. A 3D rotational failure mechanism for soil slope is extended to account for different failure patterns (i.e., toe failure and base f...
